Air Paradise Update

Air Paradise Adding Planes and Routes Following Enthusiastic Acceptance by Marketplace.

(6/8/2003) Air Paradise International (API) will be offering daily service between Bali and Jakarta commencing in June 2003. During the same period, API plans to introduce additional new services between Bali and Sydney, and Bali and Seoul, Korea.

The Bali-owned airline that commenced operation in February 2003 reports that the public response to their new air services to Perth and Melbourne has been very strong, prompting the decision to go ahead with plans for both fleet and route expansion. Additional aircraft being introduced to their fleet, like API's current aircraft, are leased former members of the Singapore Airline's armada maintained under an agreement with Singapore Airlines Engineering.

Recruitment Drive Underway

API has begun a nationwide recruitment campaign for extra staff to complement its expanded operations. According to Mr. Kadek Wiranatha, the owner of the airline, "We need additional cabin crew, engineers and pilots and will not only be looking locally but internationally for the most
experienced and suitably qualified people we can find."
